Piston compressors

Reciprocating compressors

An air piston compressor provides a compressed air flow to power various types of pneumatic tools, machines and equipment. Air is injected through special valves when exposed to a piston and cylinder. When choosing a piston compressor, you should always pay attention to what equipment you need a compressor for.

Types of reciprocating compressors

• Electric piston compressor (environmentally friendly compressor)

• Gasoline piston compressor (high compressor mobility)

• Oil-free piston compressor (for food and medical organizations)

Oiled and oil-free piston compressor differ from each other by the presence and absence of lubrication (oil) During operation of the piston compressor, friction occurs between metal parts due to friction, which leads to their increased wear and overheating of the piston To avoid wear of parts and cool them in oil piston compressors, oil is used, it creates a special protective layer. Due to which oil compressors can work continuously for several hours, manufacturers also make piston compressors from more resistant materials (cast iron pistons, steel rings).

The main disadvantage of oil piston compressors is, of course, the presence of oil particles in the compressed air stream. Also, the disadvantages include that compressor oil is more expensive than other types of oil, and it is also necessary to periodically top up or change the oil.

Please note that oil piston compressors should only be operated with the oil recommended by the manufacturer, the use of incorrect engine and transmission oils will lead to premature wear of compressor parts.

Oil-free reciprocating compressorss are not lubricated Due to friction, they often increase the operating temperature to critical levels, so manufacturers of oil-free reciprocating compressors try to use parts with a low coefficient of friction In any case, oil-free compressors cannot boast a long service life.

The oil-free compressor uses low-friction parts to produce an oil-free compressed air stream.

The great popularity of the piston compressor is ensured by its compactness, light weight and easy maintenance, such a compressor is easy to move, and vertical piston compressors still significantly save working space. As a rule, compressors with horizontal placement require additional equipment (filters, dryers) But the main reason for the popularity of piston compressors this is their affordable pricing policy Budget (household models) can be purchased for very modest means When choosing a professional piston compressor, first of all, you should pay attention to its characteristics, the ability to connect additional equipment and the availability of options. Last but not least, the manufacturer's brand should be given, choosing high-quality compressor equipment it is better to give preference famous brand,

Advantages of reciprocating compressors

• High mobility: light weight and dimensions, bulkier models are often equipped with wheels and a special handle for easy movement

• High performance thanks to multi-stage compression

• The use of the “Dryer” prevents water particles from entering the air

• Good cooling of heating compressor parts

• Multi-cylinder increases compressor speed

• High safety, the presence of a safety valve eliminates the excess of the permissible pressure in the receiver

• High efficiency due to direct drive, belt drive saves the engine from excessive load.
